    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

  • The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored.An unknown error occured(9).

    I got my iPTouch 16 GB on Oct.13 and on hooking to XP SP2 PC got it on the iTunes ver 7.4.3.1, was able to download music after charging. iTunes showed that a new software ver 1.1.1 for iPTouch was available(of150MB).Got it downloaded to iTunes but when it started to download to iPTouch, it failed and asked to do resotre. All this happened in just few hours of getting it.
    Since then, even after reinstalling the iTunes, my iPTouch is not going beyond showing the icon of a plug and a CD.Every time iTune is able to detect the iPTouch saying that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode, you must restore it. And on doing so that error of 'The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored.An unknown error occured(9).' comes up and it again asks to restore.
    Though every time iTunes is able to detect an iPTouch, my XP does not show it in 'my computer' as any hooked device or drive.
    May I request Apple and other members on this forum to help me out. It is clearly a software problem.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks to all members for sharing in. In my case finally, I got a brand new replacement from Apple through their Authorised Service Provider,A-1 Infotech, Mumbai. Since in India, Apple does not have a widespread presence,the service and support I got was amazing.
    In my case though I never came to know whether the problem was of software or hardware, but the simultaneous step I had taken was to call the toll free number of Apple in India and got my problem registered. Since the iPod Touch was under warranty, I got it replaced without much hassels. I advise the same path for other users and if possible get the additional Apple Care Protection Plan for additional one more year.
    Though I have yet to find out how to avail that Protection Plan in India.
    Best wishes,

    i'm having this problem the ipod could not be restored an unknown error occurred (-1). can't up date or restored plz help

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    How do i get my ipod touch out of recovery mode......keep getting error message saying ipod could not be restored an unknown error occurred.
    Been trying all night to sort out but just going around in circles

    I have not seen a solution for that error but try:
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod could not be restored an unknown error occurred (-1)

    Just got a replacement 2nd gen iPod Touch to replace a faulty one and when I tried restoring it with the backup I made before taking in my old one, I keep coming up with the same error message "iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)."
    It seems to be running 2.2.1 and I know I need to update it to 4.2 but every time I try I get this error.
    The thing that really worries me, is it seems to have overwritten the backup I made.  How can I update the software and get my old backup?
    The Settings menu has no "Software Update" option (that I can find) and the iTunes update seems broken... Did I just get a faulty replacement or am I doing something wrong?

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • The IPOD 'Ipod' could not be restored an unknown error occured (6)

    just Got my Ipod touch and when I tried to set it up, I got a message that said, 'Itunes has detected an IPOD in recovery mode, you must restore this IPOD before it can be used with Itunes'
    Then I followed up the instruction on my computer but then another subject came up (as what I wrote on the subject)
    I repeated 3-4 times but I got the same message !
    How to fix it ? thanks

    Well, this problem could be an easy fix. Just enter DFU Mode, and then you should be able to restore with no problems. A video on how to do this, is right [Here|http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=PbTI2quSqew]. There was a better one, but it has been removed. Be sure to have your timing pretty precise, or else it won't work.
    Hope this helps,
    Darie.

  • How do i fix [The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. an unknown error occured -1]

    I've been looking through all the discussions regarding similar problems (with different error codes), but all i know is that I cannot restore, I cannot turn on/off my iPod, and I cannot find a discussion to fix this issue.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  (P.S. holding down the power and home buttons does squat)

    The cable wasn't the issue.  It was simply turning off every piece of ad/mal/spy/virus scan app that I had running inorder to allow the restore to occur.     (problem solved)...

  • TS3694 my ipod could not be restored .an unknown error occurred 1601

    how i fix my ipod

    Did you already try the tips listed in this article about the error messages?
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
